I also have a torch coral that has lost its color, It is still open but all the little fingers are white.

I know it will get asked so I will post some water parameters as soon as I can

Looks like RTN (rapid tissue necrosis). Sometimes these things just happen, however, being that it is happening to alot of your stuff I would say that something is out of wack.

I agree that sometimes it just happens, but what she's talking about is a very established tank (& stable) where one sp's was living & growing for say 2 to 3 years and all of a sudden, one dies but all the rest are well with no signs. What you have is a major bleaching &/or RTN event that is being caused by something quick. Oxigen level, Temp, Alk swings, crazy amount of Phates & trates, infection, etc. You need all parems tested and then do a major water change.

You didn't by any chance upgrade your lights with a big wattage increase, did you? Sometimes that'll bleach 'em out if you don't *acclimate* your corals to increased light.

I had RTN on my SPS when the Alk got too high. Check that. You're only option to save those SPS if is is RTN is to frag them 1 inch above the white area. A water change always helps too.
